Hyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi late on Wednesday night called Hindu Mahasabha leader Kamlesh Tiwari "wald-ul-haraam" (illegitimate child) in a reaction to the latter's controversial comments on Prophet Muhammad. Owaisi was addressing a gathering at his party headquarters in Darussalaam at the Jalsa-e-Rahmatulil Alameen public meeting on Milad-un-Nabi eve. In an oblique reference to Tiwari, whose controversial comments on Prophet Muhammad created outrage in the Muslim community in many parts of the country, Owaisi said, "The person who has made blasphemous remarks against the Prophet is wald-ul-haraam." He sought to buttress his point by quoting the scriptures and also by using arguments of scholars of Islam on the issue. The Hyderabad parliamentarian contended that blasphemy was not freedom of speech. "I agree that there is freedom of expression. But blasphemy isn't freedom of speech. This is why we have section 295 and 153 - A of the IPC and Article 19 G (of the Constitution)," Owaisi said. Tearing into Prime Minister Narendra Modi's gaffe in Russia when he walked on despite the national anthem being played, Owaisi quoted a cartoon in a newspaper which carried the word "aawara". He sought to compare Modi's gaffe with the recent incident of a Muslim couple being forced to leave a movie theatre, reportedly in Mumbai, for not standing up when the national anthem was played. Even as he expressed outrage at the couple being termed "anti-national", Owaisi said, "The band started playing the national anthem and our PM started walking. What will you say to him? What will the RSS khaki chaddi wearing people who call us traitors do now?" he questioned. Owaisi lashed out at right wing groups for having brought stones for the construction of a Ram Mandir at the Babri Masjid demolition site in Ayodhya. "Unless the Supreme Court delivers a verdict, not a single bird can flutter its wings," he said. Owaisi criticised Mulayam Singh and the Samajwadi Party government in UP for not seizing the construction material.
